Job Title:  Naimuri - Azure Platform Engineer

Overview

As a primarily Azure focussed Platform Engineer at Naimuri, you'll be hands-on in designing, building, and supporting secure, scalable, and automated cloud infrastructure using Microsoft Azure. You’ll operate at the intersection of platform engineering and cloud architecture—enabling teams to move faster, deploy with confidence, and embrace modern DevSecOps practices.

You’ll work in a cross-functional platform capability, collaborating with developers, data, and delivery leads to turn infrastructure into reusable, self-service products. We operate in different cloud environments, so the opportunity to cross skill in platforms such as AWS and Google Cloud will also be available.

You're expected to have solid practical Azure experience, curiosity about how things work at scale, and an instinct for automation, governance, and cloud-native thinking.

Key Responsibilities

• Build & Automate: Deliver reusable infrastructure modules and CI/CD pipelines using Gitlab or Azure DevOps to support consistent and secure deployments.
• Platform Ownership: Contribute to the development and refinement of internal Azure Landing Zones, ensuring secure-by-default and policy-driven environments across multiple tenants or subscriptions, whilst expanding their knowledge into the AWS workspace.
• Operational Excellence: Monitor, troubleshoot, and continuously improve the environments using tools like Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and Application Insights.
• Governance & Policy: Implement and maintain RBAC, Policies, Blueprints (or equivalent governance approaches), tagging strategies, and cost control measures.
• Security First: Embed secure design principles into everything you build; support identity and access management, key vault integration, and vulnerability management.
• Collaboration & Enablement: Work with delivery teams to support their use of the platform, coach on best practices, and help define golden paths and documentation that lower the barrier to adoption.
• Innovation & Evolution: Stay up to date with Azure capabilities, contribute to capability assessments, and actively suggest improvements or new services that align with company strategy (e.g., enabling AI/ML or hybrid connectivity).
  
  

Core Skills & Experience

• 2–4 years hands-on experience with Azure cloud environments in production.
• Strong experience with:
  • Terraform
  • CI/CD tooling (GitLab, Azure DevOps Pipelines)
  • Azure Networking (VNETs, Private Endpoints, NSGs, Route Tables, etc.)
  • Identity & Access Management (Azure AD, Managed Identities, RBAC)
  • Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Defender for Cloud
    
    
• Experience building and consuming shared infrastructure as code modules in a GitOps-style setup.
• Ability to troubleshoot cloud-native applications, networking, and infrastructure issues.
  
  

Desirable / Bonus

• Exposure to hybrid cloud setups (e.g., on-prem integration or restricted networks)
• Awareness of enterprise controls (NCSC/Cyber Essentials, NIST, or similar frameworks)
• Understanding of cloud cost optimisation and FinOps practices
• Familiarity with supporting data/AI pipelines or platform integrations (e.g., Azure Data Factory, Databricks, OpenAI)
• Exposure to other cloud environments (AWS, Google Cloud)
  
  

Behaviours

• Proactive problem-solver who balances pragmatism with long-term maintainability
• Comfortable owning delivery, making trade-offs, and asking the "so what?"
• Collaborative, with good communication skills and a bias toward enabling others
• Security-conscious and compliance-aware without being a blocker
• Willing to continuously learn and adapt to new challenges
